Shopify (NYSE:SHOP), an e-commerce platform company, is adding to the online places where its merchants can sell their products. You've likely heard of Amazon, eBay, and Facebook, but there are many other web properties that merchants are able to access with Shopify's platform and its partnerships. These give merchants different ways to expand their online presence, and as a result, contribute to Shopify's amazing revenue growth.

Here's a sampling of key channels separated by year they were added to the Shopify platform.

  • 2015: Pintrest, Twitter, Facebook, Wanelo, and Amazon. 
  • 2016: Facebook Messenger, Ebates, and Houzz.
  • 2017: eBay, Buzzfeed, Kik, linkr, and Wish.

Shopify's merchants want to be where the buyers are, and the company is making it happen. You may not recognize all the online spaces and web properties above, but depending on the seller's products, these channels can be a huge opportunity to gain exposure to a new set of buyers.
